Hi,
I just installed OpenBSD on a i386 from cd41.iso as
described in the FAQ, chapter 4.
When I restart the system from the CD all OpenBSD partitions
show up properly and I can chroot into /mnt after I mounted
them.
However, Grub refuses to recognize any of the OpenBSD
partitions. A Linux resides on the same disk that cannot
mount any of these partitions either.
Grub's error messages are
grub> root (hd1,^I
Possible partitions are:
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 1, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
Partition num: 4, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 5, No BSD sub-partition found, partition type 0xa6
Partition num: 6, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x8e
grub> root (hd1,5,a)
Error 5: Partition table invalid or corrupt
grub> rootnoverify (hd1,5,a)
grub> cat /
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
Here is a `sfdisk' (Linux) output:
/dev/hdb1 : start= 1, size= 32255, Id=83
/dev/hdb2 : start= 32256, size= 2096640, Id=82
/dev/hdb3 : start= 2128896, size=117974304, Id= 5
/dev/hdb4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/hdb5 : start= 2128897, size= 4194287, Id=83
/dev/hdb6 : start= 6323185, size= 37748591, Id=a6, bootable
/dev/hdb7 : start= 44071777, size= 76031423, Id=8e
And here is what I entered into `disklabel':
start size mountpoint
wd1a 6323185 524159 /
wd1b 6847344 524160 (swap)
wd1d 7371504 524160 /tmp
wd1e 7895664 12582864 /usr
wd1f 20478528 8388576 /home
_All_ quantities are in sectors.
Could someone please enlighten me
- where disklabel stores the partition information
(The mountpoint information appears in /tmp/fdisk.wd1),
- where Grub expects to find it,
- what further goes wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Bertram
